The ~ you are seeing is most likely what remains after the initial part
of the emitted character sequences ("\e[3~", "\e[2~") got interpreted
in some different way. Both the readline library itself and terminal
emulators (such as xterm) can be made to treat the initial "\e["
special and that would need to be stopped.

Instead of "quoted-insert", you want "overwrite-mode".

Just mail me your phone number to [email protected]
(Ich spreche sogar ein bisschen Deutsch :-)
(Until then, you can use Ctrl-D to delete a single character.)
